Police in Southern California intercepted tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of stolen Labubu dolls from a warehouse this week.
The small collectible toys, originally hailing from Hong Kong, have skyrocketed in popularity in recent months and can range in price from $20 to $300.
The Labubus were stolen in a series of trips completed over multiple days, the Chino Police Department said.
Two suspects, both minors, were later identified as workers at the warehouse, the department said in a Facebook post on Monday.
“One suspect attempted to flee but ultimately surrendered without incident,” the statement said.
In total, detectives recovered “fourteen boxes of stolen merchandise, along with evidence indicating the items were being prepared for resale and shipment across the country,” it
